Official opening of the new John Doyle Centre

Holycross Ballycahill GAA club will host a senior hurling tournament on Sunday May 8 between Tipperary and Waterford to mark the official opening of the new John Doyle Centre in St Michael’s GAA Grounds.

The game is scheduled to start at 7pm with the official opening by GAA President Christy Cooney and blessing by Rev Fr Tom Breen taking place at 6.30pm.

It is a fitting tribute to the great John Doyle and it will add poignancy to the occasion that his passing occurred so recently. His name will never be forgotten wherever hurling people congregate but this centre will be a permanent reminder of the pride his own parish took in his achievements.
